Go to Post The weight sounds about right, too. If you need more than 65 pounds for your manipulator, then the drivetrain isn't the part you should be redesigning... - s_forbes [more]

Re: pic: FRC228 Tormach CNC Mill

Thank you for the advice... I am really up in the air for the choice. I have seen many youtubes and examples of the products the Tormach can produce, and definitely is made for metal.

I know there are some teams out there that have to have a shopbot. I haven't seen many pictures or videos of aluminum done with them.

I think we will be focusing on using the machines for hole patterns, brackets, gussets, gearboxes, on aluminum plate (proly not much thicker than 1/4"), angle, and tube stock.

Thank you
